The Great Manchester Cycle Race takes place today. This is a photo of a publicity photoshoot for the event the other week at the urban beach.
Starting and finishing at Eastlands, the course goes through Manchester, Trafford and Salford. "The urban terrain provides access to roads normally strictly off limits to cyclists, giving you a new perspective on the iconic buildings and landscapes of Greater Manchester". You can Get Out and Pedal over 13 miles, Rule the Roads over 26 miles or Test Yourself over 52 miles.
Interesting photograph just from the point of view of seeing how the photographer here is trying to make the best use of light.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo trick from 'Le Tour' was to watch the people as bikes approached, then after they had passed. Impossible to catch bikes racing unless well placed.
ReplyDeleteVery nice capture Chrissy. You can not miss the action.

Do they have something like 1.3 miles for old guys like me? I'll check tomorrow for the race pics!
ReplyDeleteGreat peek behind the scenes! Sounds like a fun race to see! (Maybe not so fun to ride for out of shapers like me :)
